public employees and the Fourth Amendment

In recent years, court decisions have extended fewer Fourth Amendment protections to public employees than to others in comparable circumstances. Although the U.S. Supreme Court has held that the property of public employees in the public workplace is protected by the Fourth Amendment, according to some commentators, the Court has over time lowered the amendment's protections against searches by public administrators in regard to its dual requirements of reasonableness and probable cause (Bodenhammer 2005).
